(1) The conditions for these values are: the shortest OE under the condition that the output channel maintains a consistent response.
(2) The delay time between the even channel OUT2n (such as OUT0,OUT2,OUT4,OUT6, etc.) and the odd channel OUT2n 1 (such as OUT1,OUT3,OUT5,OUT7, etc.) is 20nS. CXLE88180 the built-in delay circuit function, the odd and even output channels can be turned on at different times to reduce the amount of current on the power line.
3.3.2)VDD=3.3V
3.4. Limit parameters
(1) These grades in the above table cannot allow the chip to work at the limit value for a long time. If the chip works at the limit value for a long time, it is easy to reduce the reliability of the device and may
Permanent damage can occur. It is not recommended to operate the chip beyond these limit parameters under any other conditions.
(2) All voltage values are measured relative to the network.
3.5. Electrical characteristics

3.5.2)VDD=3.3V
4. current setting and formula calculation

The output current can be accurately set by an external resistor (R-EXT), and the calculation formula is as follows:

R in the formulaIREFRefers to the resistance of the R-EXT terminal. When the resistance value is 600 Ω, the output current value is 29.5mA calculated by the formula. When the electricity
When the resistance value is 1KΩ, the output current is 17.7mA.
Examples:
• 若 R-EXT = 600Ω,则 IOUT≈29.5mA
• 若 R-EXT = 1kΩ,则 IOUT≈17.7mA
Users can flexibly select the resistance value according to the actual LED specifications and brightness requirements to achieve accurate brightness control.
Constant current
The R-EXT pin is connected to GND with different resistance values to obtain different constant currents at the output of the OUT pin, but different constant currents enter the constant current.
The voltage at the flow turning point is different. As can be seen in the figure, the constant current voltage point & asymp at 30mA; 0.6V, while the constant current voltage point drops to & asymp at 20mA; 0.5V,
When designing the circuit, the voltage drop at the OUTx end should be fully considered to avoid the driving current not reaching the set value.
In addition, the OUTx terminal is not suitable to work at a high voltage drop for a long time when it is turned on, which will increase the power loss of the chip, resulting in
The heat of the chip is serious, which affects the stability of the system.
In practical application, may be due to signal traces or other factors of electromagnetic interference, in order to avoid such failures, it is recommended to CXLE88180
The shorter the distance from the LED display module, the better.

6. system design recommendations
1. PCB layout and heat dissipation
• It is recommended to arrange the R-EXT resistor close to the chip to reduce noise interference;
• The bottom of the QFN package is provided with a metal heat dissipation pad, which should be well grounded and properly paved with copper;
• The output line width should meet the current carrying requirements to avoid excessive voltage drop.
2. Power supply and decoupling
